The victim was Stephen M. Pillsbury, tea son of Stephen M. Pillsbury, ‘ton. Six oreight years ago the latter came from Newburyport, purchased two Or three acres§of land bordering on the marsh at the foot of Powder Horn Hill,and commenced the business of raising vegetables and poultry for the market. His eldest son accompanied of South iim, and assisted him in carrying on the farm. DURING THE SUMMER the father and son slept in a barn on the prem- ises, In winter they lived in South Boston, and visited the farm in Chelsea dally in order to tend their stock of cattle and poultry.

The instrument of death was a hastily con- ‘structed and crude imitation of the FAMOUS FRENCH GUILLOTINE. This machine was improvised from material found in the barn, and its plan of operation, qual to all its builder expected, Two uprights, 3x4 joist, 12 feet in length, extended from the floor of the lower story to the ceiling, to which they were securely spiked. The lower ends ot the uprights were mortised in a solid plece of hard wood, aboui 5x12 inches in size, and some 31 feet in length. In the center of ‘this bed plece was chiseiled out, apparently with a very dull Implement, a groove sufficiently deep and wide to admit the entrance of a man’s neck. Fitting be- tween the uprights, In an easy, sliding position, was a square plece of two-in: plapk, to the lower edge of which was se- curely fastened the blade of a carpente: ‘dinary broad-axe, sharpened toakeen edge. ‘The bottom of this slider rested upon a lever 15 Inches in length, working upon a pin secured | in the left upright, and from the end ot which, suspended by ‘a cord 3 feet in length, was a watering pot} which had been filled’ with water. On the top of the sitder was a box containing 50 pounds of stone. The bottom ot the watering poi, which was an ordinary 12 or 15 quart vessel, such as is commonly ona farm, had been perforated with holes so that te water might leak out and release the lev¢ thereby allowing the sliding block with the axe attached to fall. Theaxe, after being leased, had a fall o1 and a half feet. order to render the Ba nichts more tirm’ and prevent any lateral motion, a plece of seant- ling was mortised in between them at about is inches from the top. At the base or the w rights were two holes, through which was thrust a broomhandle, which effectually im- prisoned the neck of the victim and prevented any attempt to remove it. In front of the ma- chine, on the floor, was a small piece of timber. about two feet long, six or seven inches wide, and some four inches thick. In the end, nexi the bedpiece of the guillotine, was gouged a cay- ity large enough to hold about two quarts, aud in 1 was found about a pintof ether. This ether came directly under the nose of the victim, | which rested upon the floating lid of a cigar | box.

The news rapidly spread, and the officers at the barn soou bad encugh to do to keep back the curious and morbid spectators.

The guillotine was removed to p the marshal's office, and crowds flocked thici from Charlestown, Revere and adjoluing to to see the curlosity. So intense was the ex ment that it became necessary to station guard of officers at the door to prevent t entrance of the crowd tuto the marshal’s oie. Stephen M. Pulsbury, jr., was born in New- burybort, October 3, 1850, and was unmarrica. He always lived with his parents, and assiste:i his father in working his farm at Newburyport, | and later at Chelsea. A fine looking man, 5 fect 9 or 10 inehes in height, he was possessed of apparently chcerful and contented dispost:io., and was strictly temperate in all his habits. Although sociable when tn company, he neve. seemed to crave companionship, but rath-: referred to spend hfs ime alone’ poring over 0ks. ‘Though unable from his 1th year to endure severe physical exertion, he was not so feeble but that he could do the ordinary work about the farm, Several of the neighbors and partes who traded with him say that his conversation was mainly upou riminal matte ad suicides, and that ne vns te | Was remarkably well-posted on all such = jects. ‘They all unite in giving bim an exce!- nt character.

He was unabie io give a coherent statement regarding th fair, but later in the day me cal # and talked freely upon the subject. ite says that, after reflection upon the matter, he came to the conclusion that {0 was nothing more than might have been expected. For some time past he has entertained the ‘belief that his son was a little insane, as at varions Umes within the past few years he has acted very strangely, but not to Such a degree as to create In the Winds of his family an apprenen- sion of such an event. Mr. Pillsbury also says that Insanity is hereditary in his family, aad that a sister of Lis fattier is at present confined inthe insane asylum at Worcester. “My ta- ther,” said he, “was confined for some montis in an insane asylum, and my mother dicd, some years ago, In the McLean asylum at Soin- erville, where I was obliged to have her taken.” Hie thought that HIS SON BECAME DESPONDENT on account of his feeble health and the thought that he was likely to become dependent ujun his friends. He was very ingenious, and, «1 though never having learned a trade, was p fielent in the use of Carpenters’ tools, and w: able to do a very good piece of work in the ilne of repairs. Father and son were noted throughout Chel- sea for their industry, and the excellent veze- tables and small fruits, particularly stra berries, which they raised, found a ready saieat good prices. The sun kept a large lot of tine and fancy breeds of fowls on his own accouat, and derived a fair revenue from that source. They also kept a cow and supplied the neigh- bors with milk, When Mr. Pillsbury arrived oa the premises, yesterday morning, he tound the barn-door locked and the key in the usual hid- ing-place. He says that whea he left the barn Sunday ey there was no indication of apy such machine, excepting the upriguts, which were left on the premises bya Mr. Car- ter. The latter gentleman toid him, yesterday, that some three months ago he missed the up- rights from where he had ieft them. Mr. Pills bury thinks that the deed was committed some- where between + and So’clock Monday inora- ig. He bases his theory upon the fact that his son had milked the cow, for to obtain the amount of milk found in the patlin the room they occupied he must have deferred miliing until alate hour. The body was clothed in the ordinary working apparel, conststing of a wool- len shirt, cheap coat, pants and vest of a dark color, and coarse boots. The indicatious are that young Plllsbury spent the whole ti:ne that he was alone in making the arrangement for his exit from this world, as the cooking utensils in the room had not been used, nor had tire been built in the stove.
